The Renaissance Theatre Co. continues pushing Orlando theater forward with original production Laughs in Spanish.
Set in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach, the play merges the stylistic tropes of telenovelas with Clue and a metric ton of knowing winks and nods — but as per usual for the Ren, with heart. On the eve of the annual art fair-cum-party, Studio Six gallery owner Mariana finds her walls stripped bare. From there it’s a mystery of errors as friends, family and old “roommates” come out of the woodwork to save the show … or not.
Laughs in Spanish is directed by Cherry Gonzalez and written by Alexis Scheer, and stars Marisol Robles, Isabel Bernal, Danielle Bloom, Jonathan Gardon and Angela Cotto. The Theatre’s troupe promises “cafecito-induced comedy” so expect something strong and sweet.
Laughs in Spanish runs on select nights through March 30 at The Ren, 415 E. Princeton St., rentheatre.com, $35.
